Always some risk: Any procedure has inherent risks. If he is in good health without any medical problems, and under the care of a qualified health care provider, the risks are minimal for what you describe. The more teeth extracted at the same time, the more chance of post operative bleeding and soreness which is common and usually easily managed. Ga is seldom used. Are you referring to IV sedation which is safer?

Not really : There is always a certain degree of risk associated with any surgical procedure no matter how benign. With that said, removal of multiple infected teeth at the same time under the hands of a skilled clinician is less invasive than extracting them at seperate occasions. Also monetarily it would be more economical. Hope this helps.
